Amazon has no legal standing to stop people from lending books that were bought with the lending feature, whether such loans are to friends, strangers or anyone at all. All it can do is make it slightly--and I do mean slightly--more difficult for people to access authenticated information about the book offered for lending.
It sounds like Lendle was a bit more sophisticated than most lending sites, now it is more like on an even footing with them once the get back up.
I agree with others that lending sites aren't the obvious and best place for pirates to meet up. More likely, you meet someone who has tastes like yours and you lend books--legally--back and forth, that's what's happened for me.
